The bridge is blocked. The square is full of people. Busses on the embankment are turning around. I see a police can, but no cops. People are chanting, "you shut down the parliament / we shut down the streets."

A lot of bicycle commuters criss crossing by the bridge. The crowd in this section is not big.

Much larger crowd at parliament square. Helicopters buzzing noisily overhead. Unfortunately reminiscent of some scary protests I attended in New York, however, only a few good back at the bridge (where traffic is still stopped) and only one I can see here from the corner of bridge Street and the square.

If arrested, do not use the duty solicitor. Ring: 02078334433. Also ring Freedom Black Cross 07946541511

Write this on your skin. The cops will take your phone. Give your phone to a friend who is not being arrested. If you cannot do that, set your phone to have a PIN for a password and not face ID it finger print, as the police could access it without a warrant.
